I do like the Ducati 1098 but didn't want to spend the $$.
Why did you buy 2? Do you use them for different applications or just "Hey i think i'll ride the R6 today."

The Duc has that nice wow factor.... but its uncomfortable as fuck. The R1 is much more comfortable, and honestly, i like the looks of the 07/08 more than the Duc. I know... blasphemy right?

I feel it would run away with any comparo save for the cross plane engine debuting this year...Once again my opinion and my preference.
The only thing i would have to say is that it didnt even really run away with the comparos last year. The zx10 has a stompin ass motor and that tainted alot of editors, which made it real close last year.

Now... im not gonna lie, i'd rock the new 09 CBR1000RR Repsol Edition
